Here's why:
* Facts: These are objective truths observed during the experiment.
* Measurements: These are quantifiable observations, often using specific units (e.g., grams, meters, seconds).
Data is the raw information gathered from an experiment. It can be qualitative (descriptive) or quantitative (numerical).
Example:
* Fact: The plant grew taller.
* Measurement: The plant grew 5 centimeters taller in one week.
Both of these are data points that contribute to the overall understanding of the experiment.
